Larger amplitudes and frequencies should give steeper slopes on the groove and therefore larger forces and friction, makes perfect sense. Isn't this why more heavily used vinyls sound a bit muffled?
- lostgame 5y agoWell; that or, of course - general wear and tear or even dust in the grooves. Vinyl is very sensitive.
- d_tr 5y agoSure!
- TheOtherHobbes 5y agoIn spite of the legend, the needle doesn't get hot enough to melt the groove. But repeated pressure does deform it slightly. And the HF detail in the groove is already so tiny that it doesn't take much to wear/deform it away. Vinyl really is the most ridiculous medium for music. I get the appeal of a large collectible object wrapped in stunning sleeve art, but in terms of audio quality it's the equivalent of a cheap plastic LOMO lens.
